This last Splinterlands season was perhaps one of the best I’ve ever had. It seems I’m not the only one who feels this way; the player base generally shares this sentiment. While checking out comments and posts from other players, a title by bhattg caught my eye: "My Best Splinterlands Season Yet." Personally, I’ve been more active and focused on improving my gameplay, and those efforts paid off at the end of the season—a time when players naturally reflect on how the season went.
Initially, I planned to talk only about the upgrades I managed to make to key "Rare" cards from the Conclave Arcana reward set—cards that have been crucial for current Survival matches. However, after seeing that other post, I decided to broaden the scope and discuss my participation in events, tournaments, and brawls, as well as my overall strategy.
Naturally, I won't go into exhaustive detail given the number of topics, but this should give you an idea of what’s possible within the Splinterlands ecosystem. Keep in mind that I don't even participate in everything; for instance, there are liquidity pools I don't fully grasp, though an SPS/DEC pool has just arrived in the game. Then there’s the Land aspect, which features completely different mechanics, including a recently released card set specifically for Land gameplay.
Just as in real life, when we stop focusing on one thing to try and pay attention to everything at once, we inevitably miss out on something. My strategy is to focus on improving my deck—with reward cards playing a key role—and increasing my SPS stake, whether through rentals or by capitalizing on favorable price points. I remain cautious, however, given the token's significant price drop in recent times. Regarding the token: since it’s a requirement for tournaments and for earning the Glint needed to acquire reward cards, it’s important to aim for a bonus multiplier in the 8x to 10x range.
I'll be much appreaciated if you Votes, Reblogs or give any Tips. Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
My Best Splinterlands Season - Tournaments
This season of Splinterlands was one where I actively participated in the events the game offered, one of the most significant being the tournaments. I never paid much attention to tournaments, but when I saw that there was an opportunity to participate and even if it wasn't that great, still win something, I decided to try, and the result was better than expected.

Since I don't have much collection power and staked SPLs, there aren't that many tournaments I can participate in, but at least I can participate in some bronze ones and one silver one, if I'm not mistaken. I believe that in these last two seasons, that is, last month, I managed to get a little over 200 SPS by participating in the events.
With that, I already think that if I had been doing this for a while I would already have a good amount of extra SPS, but it's okay. Now it's about focusing on consistency and trying to participate in more tournaments as soon as possible, because the extra SPS you get from tournaments goes into your stake every month, and over time it will increase your bonus, accumulate towards the requirement for new tournaments, and earn more staking rewards like vouchers.
My Best Splinterlands Season - Survival
In addition to the tournaments, I also participated in Survival mode. With the incentive the Splinterlands team gave to those participating in Survival, I believe many players tried this game mode for the first time. The event would reward those who completed the season with at least 250 matches and a 50% win rate with 250k glint, but at the end of the season and so far I've managed, as shown in the image, a total of 10k glint on the leaderboard, which was already interesting, and gives an idea of what to expect when there are no events.
Another interesting detail is that, having played over 100 matches, I ended up on the survival leaderboard. I discovered that players on that leaderboard also receive an exclusive survival mode card: Darkguard Hellion, a melee DPS card with the fire and death elements, dealing 3 melee damage, 5 health, and 4 speed.
A curious fact is that I've already been using it in this season's survival mode, currently in second place, using the shark as a tank, which has flanking ability and provides reach to Darkguard Hellion. Since I don't have many modern cards, this fire element combo is interesting. I'll wait for the 250k glint reward to comment further on this matter. I hope it comes before the next season, because there's another test in this season's survival brackets with prizes.
